@Needle_of_Arya It really is. With the stories told by my parents and grandparents, the thought of not voting simply does not compute for me.

@princessnelly83 these folks are gonna get me kicked off of Twitter because of cussing people out and using language I know I shouldn't use 😠😡🤬

@Needle_of_Arya For real. Not voting is not an option for me. My dad grew up in Gulf Coast Mississippi during segregation and I’ve heard all the ugly stories. I vote because our elders literally died to give us that right.

@Needle_of_Arya My mom took the colored bus to school. These spoiled children make me sick.

@Needle_of_Arya I’ve been so angry since 2016. We had the worst and they don’t even care he might come back to office.

@Needle_of_Arya No matter the outcome next year, these kids will piss away their political power if they don't vote and take the vote seriously.

@Needle_of_Arya I've had to stay off Twitter a lot lately because it's so upsetting to me. Voting was such a huge responsibility that we didn't take lightly growing up. I raised my kids the same. I can't interact with them, or I'll lose my account.

@Needle_of_Arya We knew the assignment from the crib. No way I’m disrespecting the struggles my parents endured during Jim and Jane Crow era. I’m proudly riding with Biden.

@Needle_of_Arya

@Needle_of_Arya My father was born in the first decade of the 20th Century. Jim Crow, WWI, the Dustbowl, the Great Depression, and WWII which he fought in.

@Needle_of_Arya This! Sometimes deeply maddening, sometimes deeply saddening, most times, both.

@Needle_of_Arya I have a 26 yr old nephew, WM, who isn't registered & decided not to vote because "they're all corrupt, the same & nothing will change anyway". His mom & I (both early & Mid GenX) constantly, while agreeing on the corruption thing to a point, call him out on that BS all the time

@Needle_of_Arya THIS! My daddy served in the segregated US Army during WWII. My mom told me about riding the segregated buses & streetcars. They voted in EVERY election. I cannot imagine NOT voting. Simply not an option.

@Needle_of_Arya Tell me about it... I work on a college campus and sometimes I want to scream 😞

@Needle_of_Arya Along with black Xers with baby boomer parents

@Needle_of_Arya We are the generation that’s not far removed from segregation. My high school desegregated in 72 and I was born in 76. That’s why I don’t trust the youth vote.

@Needle_of_Arya My Mom was at the March on Washington (my great aunt took her). My grandma had a scar above her eye from her first attempt to register to vote...but I didn't hear that story until I was 13. There's NO WAY I don't do the bare minimum and stand in line to check a few boxes!

@Needle_of_Arya @groove_sdc one final domino

@Needle_of_Arya Some of them expect elected officials to be perfect and give them everything they want. They ignore the limitations of any politician as well as how govt actually works. Reading some of their posts make me want to shake some sense into them. I guess underfunding education works.

@Needle_of_Arya My grandpa made me promise to always vote, even for dog catcher. My mom tells my daughter about experiencing segregation and the importance of voting. Listening to Black folks 💩 on voting 🤦🏾‍♀️. It’s frustrating and saddening.
